An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm] Deluxe Movie Still (Learn More) The Manxman, the 1929 Alfred Hitchcock English silent romantic love triangle melodrama ("A screen adaptation of Sir Hall Caine's famous novel"; set on the Isle of Man, where some of the filming was done, about two men who grew up like brothers, but one becomes a fisherman and the other becomes a lawyer, and then the fisherman falls in love a young woman, and she agrees to marry him, and when he goes off on a long fishing trip, he asks his best friend to take care of her, not realizing he also loves her; the fisherman is thought to have been killed, and the lawyer does not have to hide his love for the girl, but then they learn that the fisherman is still alive!) starring Carl Brisson, Malcolm Keen, Anny Ondra, Randle Ayrton, and Clare Greet (billed as "Claire Greet"). Note that this was Alfred Hitchcock's final silent movie. There are not many intertitles, as Hitchcock preferred to let the viewer see what was happening rather than being told. There is a key moment in the film when the girl separately tells each of the two men that she is going to have a baby, and in both cases there is no intertitle (the viewer has to either read her lips, or deduce what was said by the man's reaction!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned an English pressbook and a Danish program from this movie, and NO other movie paper, until we received this still, which could definetly be English (and country of origin), but it is not marked that way, so we are leaving it as U.S., but it may well be English! Also note that this still measures 8" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Finally note this still is printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock! Condition: very good to fine.
